I am scheduled for 22nd jan for the CP interview

Started my Journey from Atl to New Delhi via Air France . The halt was at Paris Airport. The paris Airport is a total mess . The plane was not stopped at terminal hence we were taken to terminal by a bus where then I had to transfer to the terminal where I could catch the Flight to Delhi .

Again we had to go to Security check ...what a line ..it was nearly 1/2 mile long ....It took us an hour to go thru and just managed to reach the flight ...

The flight reached New Delhi 1 hr late ...2 of my bags were missing and 2 were broken ...

I lodged complaint at Air France office next to baggage claim.
They gave me Rs 3000 as delayed bagage loss. Since I hadalready taken baggage insurance from American exporess..I did not take the money and called Amex and gave all the details . I and my wife were allowed $500 per person of incidental charges till the bags arrived ...

The reason is delay of baggage was due to strike by Porters at Paris Airport .. so guys take baggage protection policy if flying by Airfrance.

Reached Delhi on 14th Jan in Morning .....Since I could not sleep I went directly at Dr KP jain Clinic for Medicals ...By the way I had no previos appointments .

Once I reached Dr Jain office ( showed him Duplicate appointment letter, one passport photo and passport is reqgd ) . He then gave me a slip to have Xrays done at B-45 Def Colony.. Its about 15minutes from his place .

X-rays were done in 30min and were charged Rs 200/

Came back to his office and then waited for 90 min before he did the Physical examinaton and other test.

He gavce me shots for Chicken pox , MMR and some other stuff ..I had to shell out Rs 2400 but for my wife since she had school record of her immunization ..nothing was given to her except the Physical exam ..

We were told to come at 5:30 to collect the reports ..

During the time to collect the reports we had passpoirt photos and immigration photos taken at ABC Color Studio...which is bang opposite KP Jain clinic.....no need to go to Kumar studio...

The guy charges Rs 50 for 4 immigration photos

At 5:30 PM we recvd the sealed reports and the Phots as well

I am going for my shopping for Delayed baggages and waiting for 22nd Jan now
 
Good Job!!! Iamforcp

I\'m glad u survived the Air France experience...
BTW u missed the experience of missing ur flight, dealing with rude cust service and then having to stay in a rundown hotel...
I\'d to go through it courtesy Air France and this time I\'m leaving Air France as my LAST option.
Thanks for ur tips on Baggage insurance...hope u get ur baggage soon...usually it comes by next flight from Paris...which is an Air India around 6-8 hours after urs...
Good Luck for ur Interview...
 
iamforcp, what does the physical involve?

Hi,
   Thanks for the AIR FRANCE tip. I have been on Air France before without a problem, but I guess this time I might not..just in case!

   Anyways, I had a few questions if you could answer..
   Could you tell me what the physical involves of? Also, is it ok to take photographs in U.S. since I am already here, rather than from india. It is the same thing, right?! We have to take 3 photographs, right?
   Do you know if I need a PCC if I haven\'t stayed in India from age 16! Do I need one from here?!

   Please let me know at your earliest convenience,

Thanks,
Sonu
 
i\'ve heard photographs from US being declined

both at Delhi and Bombay
I\'m taking Immigration style photographs from Us and I\'ll get them from India too...It doesn\'t take much to get it from India...so just being cautious...hope it helps...
 
Harry01,

Thanks. I guess I will do the same then. Take from here and there. We have to take 3 photos right? Sign on 2?

Btw, do u know anything about the PCC? If I should obtain one in U.S? since I have been here since age 16.
Please help

Thanks in advance,
sonu
 
i\'m getting PCC from CGNY

again being cautious...though i believe they won;t stress too much on any documentation unless they smell something fishy ;)
